What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

These probably ought to be buried and pushing up Daisies. I could even say this was absolutely Daffy, but then someone would just point out that's the wrong cartoon.

This post is further evidence that even the most adorable and innocent things are terrifying when seen in black and white. You realize, Jen, that you owe your faithful readers the full color versions of each of these, so we can be appropriately shocked, appalled, amazed, and amused.

I love this. The Black & White pics made my day, especially since today is my birthday too. I remember B&W pictures of me as a little girl in the Disney park eating Carnation ice cream with my brother when I was about four. Of course, I'm having a hard time remembering some of these characters though.
